Serendipity’s Embrace came to an end this week with the mildness we saw from the drama and its ratings. And it’s the exact opposite for Good Partner, which is finally back to two episodes a week and hit not only 13.6% but then 17.7% (oi!) for its Saturday episode.
As for our many premieres this week, Your Honor immediately attracted attention and saw a big jump for its second episode, Perfect Family interrupted the dead silence of the Wednesday-Thursday slot, Black Out had a small premiere over on MBC, and DNA Lover had an even smaller one on TV Chosun. As for Love Next Door, it did pretty well for itself, hitting 6% by its Sunday episode (and sure to jump next week).
There sure is a lot of competition in the weekend slots.
